PRODUCTION MANAGER

Ellen’s moved from Melbourne to a shiny new life in Sydney. She’s stuck in an office job she hates, she has no friends and speaks to no one back home. Ellen prefers the company of strangers – drinking with them, sleeping with them and never seeing them again. That is, until Adam turns up. Again. And he’s asking all the wrong questions…
This Year’s Ashes is a hilarious, touching, bittersweet comedy about relationships, loss and… the cricket.
